Frequently Asked Questions - FZ 5 PANASONIC

How to clean the air filter?

The air filter must be cleaned every 2 weeks. Remove the filter, wash it gently with water, rinse and dry completely in the shade, away from fire or direct sunlight. If the filter is damaged, replace it immediately.

What to do if the TIMER indicator flashes?

Flashing of the TIMER indicator may indicate an error code. Use the remote control to retrieve the code: hold down the TIMER ON button for at least 5 seconds, then press the SET button until a beep is heard to note the error code. Then contact an authorized dealer.

How to use ECONAVI mode?

ECONAVI mode optimizes energy savings by detecting human activity and sunlight. Press the ECONAVI button on the remote control to activate it. The human activity sensor adjusts the temperature according to your activity level, and the sunlight sensor compensates for variations in sunlight.

Why does the indoor unit make a water flowing sound?

This noise is normal and comes from the circulation of refrigerant inside the unit. No action is required.

How to set the timer?

Press TIMER ON or OFF to select the mode (ON or OFF). Set the desired time using the ▲/▼ buttons, then press SET to confirm. To cancel, select the relevant timer and press CANCEL. The timer repeats daily.

What does the flashing POWER indicator mean?

Flashing of the POWER indicator may indicate that the unit is in HEATING mode and waiting for the temperature to rise, or that it is in defrost mode. In HEATING mode, the indicator flashes during start-up; if no warm air flows out, the unit is defrosting. If flashing continues, check the troubleshooting instructions.

How to deactivate the integrated nanoe-G filter?

Hold down the NANOE-G button until a short beep sounds. This deactivates the deactivation of the integrated filter, but the nanoe-G will continue to purify the air. To restore the function, hold down the button until a long beep.

What to do in case of an error code?

If an error code appears (e.g., 'H99'), use the remote control in test mode: hold down the TIMER ON button for 5 seconds, then press SET until a beep is heard and note the code. After checking, turn off the unit and give the code to an authorized dealer for repair.

How to use POWERFUL/QUIET mode?

Press the POWERFUL/QUIET button to switch between modes: POWERFUL, QUIET, and NORMAL. POWERFUL mode quickly reaches the desired temperature and stops automatically after 20 minutes (in single mode). QUIET mode reduces airflow noise.

What is the operating temperature range?

In COOLING mode, the indoor unit operates between 16 °C and 32 °C (dry bulb) and the outdoor unit between -10 °C and 43 °C. In HEATING mode, the indoor unit operates between 16 °C and 30 °C and the outdoor unit between -15 °C and 24 °C. These values may vary depending on the model.
